About

The Pastaria & Market

If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience in the heart of Los Gatos, The Pastaria & Market is the dining destination you won't want to miss. Nestled at 27 N Santa Cruz, this charming eatery combines a cozy atmosphere with a menu that celebrates the rich flavors of Italy, all while providing an inviting space for friends, families, and even furry companions.

As a food reviewer with a penchant for Italian cuisine, my visit to The Pastaria & Market was nothing short of delightful. The moment I stepped inside, I was embraced by the warm and inviting ambiance, enhanced by vintage decorations and an intimate vibe that feels just right, whether you're on a romantic date or a casual lunch catch-up with friends.

  • Exquisite Pasta Offerings: One bite of their gnocchi—soft, pillowy, and paired with a rich red sauce and Italian sausage—was a revelation. It's no surprise that this dish quickly garnered rave reviews from patrons. The walnut pasta linguine also steals the show, featuring creamy pesto and a satisfying crunch from walnuts, but perhaps skip the chicken unless you're seeking a drier option.
  • Signature Dishes: Don't overlook the tagliatelle with truffle cream sauce, touted as the restaurant’s signature dish. The rich, creamy sauce is a mushroom lover's dream, creating a perfect harmony with the al dente pasta.
  • Scrumptious Desserts: You simply must leave room for dessert! The tiramisu is a sublime balance of rich mascarpone and the bitterness of coffee, served in generous portions that could easily satisfy two.

The Pastaria & Market excels not only in its culinary offerings but also in its service. Reviewers frequently mention the friendly, attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Whether you're indulging in their delicious pasta with a glass of wine or taking advantage of Wine Wednesday for half-priced bottles, the atmosphere is consistently lively yet relaxed.

This establishment also prides itself on accessibility, offering features such as wheelchair-accessible entrances and restrooms, making it welcoming for all. With options for delivery, takeout, and even catering, The Pastaria & Market is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary hub that fosters community and connection.

In a world where dining out can often feel like a chore, The Pastaria & Market stands out as a beacon of joy, deliciousness, and superb hospitality. I left feeling not just full, but genuinely satisfied by the experience. Mark your calendar—this is a place you'll want to revisit time and again.

For those in the Los Gatos area or planning a visit, The Pastaria & Market is a culinary delight that pays homage to Italian tradition with a modern twist. It’s a real gem worth savoring.
